Yandex Data Center Waste Heat Warms the Houses in Mäntsälä, Finland
In 2013, Mäntsälä sold to Yandex , a Russian search engine company, eight acres of land in the Kapuli business district. Mäntsälä offered Yandex a new data center in an ideal location, including low-cost and reliable electricity supply, with excellent transport links, as well as low-cost server cooling costs. Yandex was not only offered the resources needed, but with close co-operation we created a modern ecosystem from which both parties will benefit financially as well as reduce their own carbon footprint.
